Newsweek has more:

Bad Bunny—born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio—has been Spotify’s most-streamed artist worldwide for four consecutive years. His 31-show residency in Puerto Rico this year generated nearly $700 million for the local economy and made global headlines. The NFL called him “the most popular artist on Earth” when announcing his upcoming performance on September 28, underscoring both his commercial power and cross-cultural influence.

But the announcement also sparked backlash from conservative commentators, who criticized Bad Bunny’s political views, including his past criticism of Trump and support for Puerto Rican independence. The reaction intensified after his recent Saturday Night Live appearance, where he opened his monologue in Spanish and joked, “If you didn’t understand what I just said, you have four months to learn.” What was meant as playful confidence quickly became a rallying point for his critics.
